Is the spice vdagent working?

Could you also try with a Linux guest, at least it's easy to enumerate the channels, you can ls /dev/virtio-ports.

I don't have one set up.  That could take a while...

No.  So, I learned to enable admin account, logged into it, and redid the install with same result.

folder sharing with virt-manager." You can add a webdav channel now:

I'll try with virt-manager.  I'll try getting the file  http://elmarco.fedorapeople.org/spice-webdavd-x86-0.1.24.msi
via web browser from within the win7 VM.  Maybe it was chopped off some how.

Thanks,
